Explanation:
For true Strain:
step 1:
E true = Ln(1 + 0.5 ) = 0.40
Step 2:
E true = Ln(1 + 0.33 ) = 0.29
By single step process:
E true = Ln(1 + 1 ) = 0.69
total strain of step process = 0.40 + 0.29 = 0.69 units
SO TRUE STRAIN IS ADDITIVE.
Answer:
The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.
Explanation:
Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil
The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula
where
'H' is the initial depth of the layer
is the Compression index
is the inital void ratio
is the initial effective stress at the depth
is the change in the effective stress at the given depth
Applying the given values we get
Answer:
Explanation:
a) On the verge of tipping over, reaction acts at the corner A
When slippage occurs,
Block moves w/ const. velocity equilibrium
Three-force member: reaction at A must pass through B
tan b/2h, h b/ 2 θ µ = = ∴= k k ( µ )
b) When slippage occurs,
Block moves w/ const. velocity equilibrium
Three-force member: reaction at C must pass through G
k tanθ µ =
tan x/ H/2 , x H/2
